Indeed the default behavior is not too bad since it places the cursor
at the beginning of the filename and can be easily removed if user
wants to choose another one.

*HOWEVER*, there must be a bug in either ffap or ido which cause Emacs
 to place the cursor at the end of the filename. I have narrowed it
 down to the following recipe:

  1. emacs -q -l faf
  2. Open an existing file
  3. C-x C-v

faf
Description: faf
